ST. JOSEPH – It's not traditional theater. It's not a traditional film. The show known as "Blue!" projects images and sounds to create the impression of underwater activity.

"Blue!" comes to the Gorecki Family Theater at the College of St. Benedict with an evening performance Friday and two daytime performances Saturday.

It is part of the Fine Arts Series presented by the college and St. John's University. "Blue!" is created by Compagnia T.P.O., an Italian company that is integrating new technologies into theatrical performances. A system of sensors allow performers to alter the sound and images through their own movement. The performance is interactive and ideal for families, according to the college. The audience will be seated on stage, so seating is limited.

"Blue!" is sponsored in part by Thomsens Greenhouse & Garden Center as well as a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
